Vanilla Sweet and Buttery Kettle Corn - This recipe was just given to me from a friend and I just had to share it with all of you. Infused subtle sweetness of vanilla, this sweet, buttery kettle corn makes a wonderful snack to satisfy your sweet tooth cravings.Peanut Butter and Honey Roll-Ups - This is a great lunch for the kids to brown bag with. Definitely not just peanut butter and jelly anymore!

Honey and Spice Popcorn - Ditch the liquid butter and spice up your popcorn with something a little more interesting.

MeatyQuick Chicken Chunks - It's a quick, tasty bite! Whip up a batch of crispy-coated chicken chunks in your microwave. They're perfect for dipping.Pepperoni Rolls - These are much better than the store bought kind. They smell so good while cooking that no one can wait for them to come out of the oven. Great in lunch boxes for school or the office. But watch out, they may come home with orders for these.

Nachos - These nachos are my kids' and grandkids' favorite. They're easy to make and you can use ground beef, chicken or turkey. On a low sodium diet? No problem. Just get low sodium chips and low sodium taco seasoning. I use Ole El Paso brand ingredients but use what you like. This dish can be served out of the pan or put on a serving dish.
